I have no interest in revisiting the current set of WONTFIX bugs that 
led to the current set of open issues.  Going forward, I would prefer 
reopening bugs with inadequate rationales over raising issues -- even if 
that should happen to be over the stated wishes of both the person 
raising the issue and the editor.

And to be clear: by inadequate, I mean "not enough there", not "I disagree".
